I was on 180 mg of natural throid and my alternative said that my adrenals were shot. A year later, I was no better, but I found a candida clinic on-line that cured the bowel dysbiosis and after cleansing for several more months, I had to reduce the thyroxine until I quit it.
I have been working on the adrenals ever since. Dr. James Wilson says that sometimes the thyroid and adrenals need to be supplemented at the same time. For me the bottom line has been to reduce toxins. it began by ridding the candida. I can sense everything toxic now and I think that people may not realize the poisons that they live with/sleep with/work with each day, like I do.
